Effect of flecainide on atrial fibrillatory rate in a large animal model with induced atrial fibrillation

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2017
Background Atrial fibrillatory cycle length has been considered one of the indices of atrial electrical remodelling during atrial fibrillation (AF), which can be assessed from surface ECG by computer-assisted calculation of atrial fibrillatory rate (AFR).
